"Off the Map" is a play by Joan Ackermann that centers on a family living in rural New Mexico during the 1970s. The story follows the emotional and existential struggles of the Groden family, particularly the father, who is dealing with a deep depression, and the daughter, who dreams of a life beyond their isolated existence. As they navigate their challenges, a stranger arrives, prompting the family to confront their fears, desires, and the meaning of home. The play explores themes of love, loss, and the search for purpose in an unpredictable world.
